Default Create me a process!

Alright, here's my process now:

Menzerna Intensive Polish
Menzerna Final Polish II
Klasse All-In-One
S100

I know i'm not washing my car with the right stuff (Turtle Wax Car Wash), and I dont think the S100 is working to well, so I was wondering what change can I make to my process to really make my Spiral Grey look deep and sparkle? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Honestly, your process is good (and your products are good, too).

If you aren't pleased with the S100, you might try Pinnacle Signature Series or Zaino Z2 Pro. Both will offer more flake "pop" and have a wet finish.

For a regular maintenance wash, you might try Zaino Z7, P21s wash, Mother's California Gold, etc.

Thanks Zane! You always seem to be around to help me out (here and on LS1Tech with my old TA ) I think I might try out some Z2 Pro, and a different car wash, I know my process is pretty good, I was just looking for that EXTRA pop in the flake of this paint, you know how it is! You can never be satisfied!!! Thanks for the input!

I pretty much agree with Zane. I would replace the AIO and S100 with something like Z2 Pro. The pinnacle will probably give you the same look but why sacrifice durability if you do not have to.
